Well my week's holiday was officially over yesterday, I went back to work - to be honest I am a workaholic and to be at work suits me just fine as well as being at home - hopefully that doesn't sound too sad !!!!

Having recently become part of a large PLC alot of the challenge and satisfaction has gone from my job and I am struggling to come to terms with that, I am very well paid, obscenely so some might say, but I have worked very hard in the past to justify my salary and now feel that my responsibility is being eroded and I have to find something else to do to justify my existence within the organisation. I have a fear this is going to mean promotion to a more senior role which will mean travelling - this I may have a problem with as it will take me away from home too much and then I will have family issues - but I will have to deal with that at a later date

It's a lovely, warm day outside today - my house is slap bang in the middle of a residential 'smoke free zone' and someone, somewhere is bound to start garden fire which means I will have to close my windows and doors to avoid the wonderful aroma of burning rubber in my lounge

Oh to live in the country or by the sea
